Boruto's manga reaches a new milestone and proves haters wrong.
Boruto Director Shared Illustration On Social Media
Masayuki Koda, one of the directors of the anime series, recently shared an illustration of Boruto Uzumaki drawn by him on his social media. It shows Boruto Uzumaki from Two Blue Vortex, making fans even more excited for Part 2, which is expected to start with the second saga of the story, even though there are still a few events from Boruto: Naruto Next Generations to be adapted.
Kouda directed the series from episodes 105 to 281, and later from episodes 287 to 293. It hasn't been officially confirmed that he will return to direct the next season, but the illustration gave fans hope that he will once again be in charge of the anime.
When Will Boruto Part 2 Be Released?
While Boruto Part 2 has been officially confirmed to be in production, the release date is yet to be announced. Boruto: Naruto Next Generations dropped its final episode in March 2023, just before this part of the manga ended, and Two Blue Vortex began serialization.
The anime was under criticism for relying too much on filler content to give the manga some time to advance the story. So, instead of continuing to create fillers, the production decided to put the series on a break. Studio Pierrot has been experimenting with releasing seasonal anime instead of creating series that run for years without interruption, and it seems that their experience with Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War made them change their mind.
Recent statements from the studio's producers indicate that they will follow a seasonal schedule with their next series, meaning that Boruto Part 2 will probably not air continuously. This is more in line with how most anime series are released today, and this new production system will likely also affect Black Clover, another anime produced by Pierrot that has been on a break for a long time. Actually, this is a very positive change, as it will allow the production to deliver even higher quality animation — it is hard to maintain a constant level of quality in series that have to run continuously for years.
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is available to stream on Crunchyroll and Hulu.
